The Droid Razr M 4G smartphone was released last September in the United States, and runs on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system in that country. The handset is slim and compact, but nonetheless delivers impressive battery performance which outperforms most other smartphones. But with a few tricks and tips you can even enhance battery life further on the Droid Razr M 4G smartphone, and do so without affecting the normal way you generally use your handset.
The Droid Razr M 4G Android smartphone is powered by the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, and delivers the Chrome for Android mobile web browser out-of-the-box. The 2,000 mA lithium-ion battery on board the handset is 40% more powerful than the one found on the iPhone 5, delivering a full 20.0 hours of talk time and charging in as little as four hours. Of course, battery life and performance depend on how you use your handset, but changing your settings on your phone will have a dramatic impact on how frequently you have to charge your Droid Razr M.
To get a really good idea of what applications or features are using most of your battery life, go to Settings > Battery on your Droid Razr M. You can also set battery saving rules through the SmartActions application by tapping on Apps, and then selecting that particular app. Some smartphone users don’t understand that volume draws unnecessary battery life, so use your device’s volume keys to cut the sound level down when it is unneeded. You can also shut down any apps or features as soon as you are done using them so they will not continuously run in the background.
If you are out of range of your carrier, turn off your network connection. If you do not, your Droid Razr M handset will continually search for a non-existent network signal, needlessly wasting battery juice. Also, consistently using the latest version of the handsets software through updates improves features and performance, adding still more battery life. Finally, turn off your camera flash when it is not needed, and when you are done taking photos, power down your camera viewfinder.
The Motorola Droid Razr M for Verizon is currently retailing for around one penny on contract, and is compatible with 3G and GSM networks in more than 200 countries around the globe. Slim at 0.33 inches (8.3 mm), the handset is also light at 4.44 ounces (126 g). The large 4.3 inch qHD Super AMOLED display delivers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, and the CPU is a dual core 1.5 GHz chip. Video capture runs 1,080P HD resolution via the rear camera, which has an 8.0 megapixel sensor.
